I have 66 and need to figure out this river...

[terencetsao]

do c/c and b/f make a difference on this situation?..how do we even determine which one is more +EV?

[fretelöo]

Well, both have different advantages:

- If you b/f, you prevent villains to check behind if they have nothing but bet if they have a T. So you force them to pay a bet to see sd when they have some weak made hand like T2 or 5A and assume that you'll be good more often than not.

- If you c/call, you entice a bet from marginal hands that might assume you have bluffed/semibluffed all the way or got scared. So A3, for example, might not call a bet you put in, but it might bet itself if checked to.

Which is superior is ultimately a question of reads and experience. But there might be some general tendencies which I'm unaware of...

I'd probably venture to check/call the river, and overcalling doesn't bother me at all.
